But now I have a new weapon. It's called a buff. They come in a wide variety of colors, styles and materials. I got a couple from REI and tried one out this morning.

The buff is quite versatile. It can be worn in various ways and has many uses.

I pronounce the Buff as one of my newest favorite accessories.
Ride On and Carpe Diem, my friends

ReplyDeleteI have a fleece neck warmer which I use instead of a scarf. I used to leave my scarves behind everywhere I went and lost a few. I think I also have a buff but it is more suited for hot weather when you are sweating in your helmet

I agree that the Buff is probably better designed for hot weather, but I found it to be surprisingly warm in cold weather. I have become a Buff fan.
DeleteI have a few buff's of my own and love them. I particularly like the merino wool ones for winter, they are still light weight and warm. I usually pull mine up over my chin and then its all secure in my fullface helmet and I am warm as toast.
ReplyDeleteI really didn't think I would like it as much as I did. And I didn't buy it just for riding. They are very versatile!
ReplyDeleteI simply use a hooded sweatshirt. I can fold the hold around the back of the helmet or wear it under the helmet. Either way I find that I'm nice and toasty and it protects my neck as well.
ReplyDeleteSadly my chin does get a bit cold.
